Attendance

Absence Guidelines

On a daily basis, student’s absences will be recorded as unexcused until an acceptable excuse has been provided by the parent or guardian indicating the reason for the student’s absence. The principal has the ultimate authority to decide whether an absence shall be excused.

If a student is repeatedly absent from school due to illness, the school is authorized to require the parent or guardian to provide a written physician’s statement for each subsequent absence to be considered excused.

Absences shall be excused for:

1. Illness, injury or other insurmountable condition

2. Illness or death of a member of the student’s immediate family (if death, letter from funeral home needs to accompany parent’s written excuse)
